Side effects are specific symptoms that may appear once, last for the entire period of use of the drug, or for a short time. There is no clear answer whether the described symptom will be temporary in you. Side effects when using Asertin are usually most felt during the first 2-4 weeks of regular use of the drug, because at this time a constant concentration of the drug in the body is established. The lady has been taking the drug for 5 weeks, the higher dose is used for 10 days. After this time, the concentration of the drug in the body should stabilize. Therefore, I think that if the side effects do not go away, you should report it to your doctor.

Is this temporary? I will add that previously I took for 5 weeks an incomplete 50 mg tablet, and only after switching to the whole tablet these ailments appeared
